This is actually only about immigration benefits being decided by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which has nothing to do with immigration judges.
Immigration judges hear cases where the government is seeking deportation. This, by contrast, is just an application for a benefit.

If they really want to fix the broken immigration system they could start by making the hiring of immigration judges a priority.

For people waiting for a naturalization oath ceremony, they have green cards now and so therefore are not in any danger at all. For people who are applying for a green card and who are present on a status with a defined expiration date, there might be a risk of falling out of status during a delay.
So are they going to start deporting them? Like I know this isn’t the most at-risk group, but there are about 65 Venezuelan MLB players. If they start deportation that might finally get some rich whites (the owners) pissed off enough to almost say something.

Heard the same; this is what I mean by inches from the finish line; scheduled for the final citizenship oath ceremony and now suddenly that date is cancelled and people don't know what will happen next.
Our office has clients caught up in this. Hearing from colleagues nationwide about people having their naturalization oath ceremonies canceled. Some of the affected people aren't even subject to the travel ban due to other acquired citizenship, but they are still being caught up.
The Trump admin has paused all immigration and naturalization processes for people from one of the 19 travel ban countries; including Cuba and Venezuela.
Even people who fully passed the citizenship exam are having their cases put on hold, just inches from the finish line.

Scoop: The Trump administration has paused all immigration applications filed by people from 19 countries banned from travel to the United States earlier this year, halting green card and U.S. citizenship processing for broad swaths of people.
More coming soon.

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Walz on calling for Trump to release MRI results: "Here we got a guy on Thanksgiving where we spent time with our families, ate, played Yahtzee. This guy is apparently in a room ranting. It's not normal behavior. It's not healthy. Has anyone in history ever had an MRI & had no idea what it was for?"

Apart from the outright offensiveness of much of this post, Trump says "hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia" are "taking over" Minnesota. Census statistics show that there are fewer than 100,000 people in the entire United States of Somali ancestry, and Minnesota has 50-70,000.

If it's true, if the US is willing to allow borders to be redrawn by force and let aggressors be rewarded, then the gates of hell are about to be opened.
This may prove to be the single most destabilizing and conflict-spawning decision of the 21st century.
